Newbie help with simple script written for v3.3 and used on vs2.7, please?
#1
Hi
Im a complete newbie to any sort of programming so sorry if this is a stupid question - working my way through the python for absolute beginers on you tube and Im on Video2. Have got python running from cmd and using notepad++ for editor.  Code reads    
print("hello world")     
myName = input("what is your name?")     
print(myName)
above runs fine outputting
Output:
hello world what is your name?
Video shows typing your name after the ?  (no space)  pressing enter key and then name should print  however I get an error message basically saying Name error Name Paul is not defined. 
I think video uses v3.3 and Im on 2.7 dont know if that makes a difference but any help welcome.  Thanks for reading.
Thanks
Paul

Works fine under 3.5.1

Thanks for the response I was wondering if the reason was I`m using 2.7 and Video is 3.3.  I may install V3 and see if that works.

Thanks again

Just a quick update installed V3.3 and code now runs fine.

Thanks everybody for reading - I`m sure I will have more questions soon.

On that note anybody know any good online tutorials/videos etc?  or know a good book for complete novice?   Looked at Python programming for the absolute beginner by Mike Dawson on Amazon for around £16 has anyone used this book?

Cheers
Paul

instead of "input()" you should use "raw_input()"

myName = raw_input("what is your name?")  
and instead of "print()", you can just use "print var "

print myName
there were some other changes from v2 to v3, but these two are probably used most often

As to resources, check this link Python Resources
If it ain't broke, I just haven't gotten to it yet.

Well then welcome to programming and our forums, Paul.
